Virtual Eye News

Virtual Eye Cricket carried the bat throughout January, supplying our ball-tracking and graphics package for Channel 9 coverage of the One Day Internationals (ODI) and Test series between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide. We also supplied our ball-tracking and graphics for Sky Sports coverage of the ODIs and Test series between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Napier, Mt. Maunganui, Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland.

Virtual Eye also supplied yacht-tracking and graphics over television and the web and on mobile for the first Sailing event on our 2017 calendar, the Quantum Key West Race Week - the first regatta of the 52 Super Series 2017. The Virtual Eye Golf team began their season covering the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters at Doha GC in Qatar.

The Virtual Eye Golf team wound up their 2016 season at the Australian PGA Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort, and the Hong Kong Open at Hong Kong GC in Fan Leng. Virtual Eye Cricket started the month in full swing with One Day Internationals between Australia and New Zealand in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. The ODIs were followed in quick succession by test matches between Australia and Pakistan in Brisbane and Melbourne, and ODIs between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Christchurch and Nelson.
